Ok John,
I know you can do this. Adam's 'mindset' as you put it will change, because yours has. He will know the playroom is a different place, even if you do nothing else but be in their & just love him all day!
My daughter was non verbal when we first started Son Rise, her first word was 'OPEN', to open the door- rather smart eh?!!!!! We just lovingly told her how wonderful it was that she said that, but that right now the playroom was the best place for her and that is where we were going to stay, to have fun and be together. Have conviction with what you tell Adam, he will soon learn, he's a smart kid with a wonderful Dad.
It would be great to be 100% honest with Adam right from the start & tell him this is a learning for both of you, but that you know he's doing his best & that you love him for trying and for being himself. Charlotte sometimes bites herself on the forearm. I don't assume I know why she does it but i know she has her own reasons- this is a great time for me to show her I accept her unconditionally. Try this with Adam, or if you'd like to talk more about it, you know where you can reach me!!!!! Love & hugs, Kim x
